Not for more money for ourselves.
Not national power.
Not fame.

It's a good thing I don't have my way as 70% of people would be locked up and left to die.

But that's life. We'll get there eventually. And to all you who do nothing all day, or do 'something' that is indeed absolutely nothing....you don't deserve the life you have. You're a waste. Die already...you waste valuable resources, stuffing your face, enjoying your material possessions, sustaining a life you have no idea the potential of.

Many humans are ready for the next chapter in all this. Die or work for it.

And be thankful we don't outright go and kill you...

It's Saturday.

Remember, the doctor wants you to take your meds on any day that ends with a "Y".

Please do.

So what happens when they solve the immortality issue? Is this only for special people ?? What do all those people that were working on it do now? You do understand colonizing space is nothing like planetary colonization.

What do YOU do for mankind that is so special ??

Well, no offense, but I don't think your brilliant idea would really work out. Back to the drawing board OR the Sci Fi channel, whichever comes first.
